Vice Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen NS Raja Subramani launches 'Vendor Registration Application'
New Delhi [India], June 26 (ANI): Vice Chief of the Army Staff, Lieutenant General NS Raja Subramani, on Thursday, launched a 'Vendor Registration Application' developed by the Indian Army in collaboration with Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics (BISAG-N).
In a post on X, the Additional Directorate General of Public Information, IHQ of MoD (Army) said, 'Lieutenant General NS Raja Subramani, #VCOAS today launched a 'Vendor Registration Application' developed by Indian Army in collaboration with #BISAG-N. It offers a secure & digitised solution for Army Purchase Organisation Vendors for their registration process.'
'By Leveraging Blockchain technology, the portal revolutionises the vendor registration process by replacing the traditional time consuming manual procedures involving multiple layers of physical verification, paperworks and follow ups with a fully online automated platform. The application offers a new era of transparency and simplifies ease of doing business with minimal human intervention,' it added.
As per a note shared in the X post, the app has been built as an interface between vendors and the Army Purchase Organisation in alignment with the Indian Army's Year of Transformation.
'Welcome to a new era of transparency and efficiency across Army Purchase Organisation. Today, we are proud to introduce the Vendor Registration Application. Developed in collaboration between Directorate General of Supplies and Transport and BISAG-N. In alignment with the Year of Transformation, the application leverages the power of blockchain to revolutionise the interface between vendors and Army Purchase Organisation,' the note by ADGPI read.
According to the note, it was emphasised that this innovative platform ensures that every interaction is secure, transparent, immutable and provenance-ready.
'With a user-friendly interface, vendors can easily apply online and track their application status in real time, alongwith the capability to submit redressals and rectify any observations concurrently while obtaining insight into upcoming tenders,' it said.
'No more lengthy paperwork or bureaucratic delays. Alongside simplifying the registration process, the site also emboldens the scrutiny process through API based verifications from Single Sources of Truth across various domains like FSSAI, GST, Global Standards 1, Trademark Auth and ULIP providing accurate and updated information,' the note read.
This step was taken to foster a diverse vendor ecosystem and encourage small businesses into the supply chain.
'We aim to foster a diverse vendor ecosystem and incubate increased participation in ration contracts of the entire Indian Army. This platform opens the doors for small businesses and innovative startups in building a robust and more resilient digital supply chain across the Army Service Corps. The application is not just a tool but a commitment to transparency and accountability thus, upholding ASC Corps Credo, 'Seva Asmakam Dharma' and streamline system, processes and functions as per COAS pillars of transformation,' the ADGPI note said.

India to boost drone capabilities amid growing threats from China, Pakistan
In a bid to strengthen its defence against rising drone threats, the government has approved emergency purchases of Remotely Piloted Aerial Vehicles (RPAVs) worth Rs 2,000 crore, a Defence Ministry statement said on decision comes over a month after Pakistan launched a barrage of drones to attack Indian military and civilian targets during the conflict in the aftermath of India's Operation Sindoor precision strikes on Pakistani terror infrastructure in response to the Pahalgam terror funds will be used to equip the Army with advanced technologies, including Integrated Drone Detection and Interdiction Systems (IDDIS), to detect and neutralise hostile drone threats. The growing use of drones in warfare has raised concerns, especially with reports indicating that China is building a massive drone force estimated at around one million the other hand, Pakistan has also reportedly acquired over 50,000 drones from China and Turkey, which could possibly be used for surveillance and combat missions against meet these challenges, India is investing in RPAVs, loitering munitions, and combat drones for various military applications. These systems will enhance India's surveillance and strike capabilities along sensitive border government is also promoting domestic drone manufacturing to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers. India's private defence manufacturers are also developing drone solutions for both defence and civilian use, including surveillance and infrastructure growing tensions along its borders, India's efforts to modernise and expand its drone capabilities mark a crucial step in safeguarding national security.- EndsMust Watch

A warmer winter for army camps and hill homes in Himalayas, thanks to IIT Bombay
IIT Bombay has found a solution for people living in harsh winter conditions in the Himalayan region. The institute has come up with an innovation that begins with sunlight alone -- no electricity or external power required. For nearly three months each year, temperatures fall far below zero in the homes rely on diesel heaters to stay warm, but diesel is costly and must be transported through dangerous mountain study from IIT Bombay introduces a solar-based heating system that stores energy using a chemical called strontium bromide. This system captures heat in summer and releases it during winter --,just like a battery stores POWERED SALT SYSTEM TO WARM HIMALAYAN HOMES FOR MONTHSHere's how it works: Solar air collectors heat air during summer. This hot air warms up strontium bromide hexahydrate, causing it to lose water molecules and store heat in a dry, 'charged' winter, moist air passed through the salt triggers a reverse reaction, releasing the stored heat into the Rudrodip Majumdar, who worked on the project, said the idea was inspired by his time trekking in the Himalayas. 'I've seen people walk miles to collect firewood. Diesel is the only option, but it pollutes,' he team built a prototype that can store up to 500 kilowatt-hours of energy -- enough to heat a small home for four HEAT UNITS MAY SOON REPLACE DIESEL IN REMOTE HOMES AND ARMY POSTSThe system is compact, about the size of two LPG cylinders, and built to withstand cold climates. It doesn't need to be replaced often and can go through hundreds of to Dr. Sandip Kumar Saha, who led the study, these units could be 'charged' in sunny states like Rajasthan and transported to hill towns before winter. 'Solar collectors are not new. But storing seasonal heat in a chemical form for later -- that's the innovation,' he study found the Levelized Cost of Heating (LCOH) using this system to be as low as Rs 31 per kWh in Leh -- much cheaper than diesel heating when transport and carbon emissions are factored in.'This technology can bring cleaner, long-lasting warmth to India's coldest corners,' Dr. Majumdar the progress, the system needs real-world testing. Challenges like upfront costs and climate variations the team is confident it could soon help not just civilians, but also Indian Army camps stationed at high altitudes.- EndsMust Watch
